Dr Groner is hidden gem. I spent years in pain and saw several doctors with no relief. I felt hopeless. No one could tell me exactly what was causing my pain.
Dr. Groner did for me what no one else did. He narrowed down the cause of my pain and helped me understand it.
He explains in detail, takes his time and is honest. His passion sets him apart from others. His staff is absolutely lovely as well. I can’t recommend Revitalize enough.
Second visit with Dr. Groner today. Visits are nearly an hour long and very thorough. He ordered MRIs, then reviewed and discussed the issues and made referrals. So nice to meet to have a doctor who is concerned about the patient instead of just setting up recurring billable appointments. He has a most pleasant bedside manner as well. Knowing his stuff doesn’t hurt either. If you are having spinal pain he is who you need to see!
I saw Dr. Groner for back and knee pain. He is easily the best doctor I have seen. He is kind, thorough and excellent at explaining issues and options.
Not only do I feel confident in his competence, I believe that he truly cares about my well-being. I’ve seen many doctors for myself and my family, and have had the full spectrum of experiences. I can say with confidence that he is one of those rare doctors who is committed to truly helping people and he demonstrates that in excellent and personable patient care. I cannot recommend him and his practice highly enough. They’re helping me finally figure out my back and knee pain and have been a source of support and guidance in my next steps for additional medical care.
I was in pain for several months before being referred to Dr. Groner. He does a wonderful job of explaining his diagnosis of my issues. I have now been pain free for several months. I highly recommend him.
Finally…someone who listens and does the testing necessary to to offer an educated diagnosis!
I have dealt with back pain daily for decades, it has been a struggle to get any kind of relief and I have usually been treated like a drug seeker. Dr. Groner got me in quickly after I was referred, did a thorough exam and ordered an MRI to get the extent of my back issues.
The MRI showed pretty significant issues creating my pain. He suggested I consult with a surgeon for evaluation as to surgical treatment versus other options. The surgeon didn’t feel that I was a surgical candidate, so Dr. Groner discussed options with me.
We agreed to try spinal injections. I’ve had one injection so far, it has dramatically reduced—and some days completely eliminated—my back pain. This is the first time in over 40 years that I haven’t had significant daily pain!
I highly recommend Dr. Groner, he is kind, explains clearly to make sure you understand anything he discusses with you and focuses on your pain relief.
After I suffered from chronic back pain for two decades, Dr. Groner successfully alleviated my discomfort. He takes his time to throughly review all tests with his patients, ensuring they comprehend the results and are at ease with the subsequent steps.
I enthusiastically endorse Dr. Groner to anyone plagued by back pain; he posses an uncanny ability to heal. Dr. Groner and his staff are a pleasure to interact with.
I’ve had widespread chronic pain since January, 2001 from two accidents, a failed three level neck fusion that uncovered compressed nerves under my discs plus some unknown causes for what eventually became nearly full body pain. I’ve searched for answers, visiting countless doctors in various fields for more than 23 years.
Most doctors simply don’t care, don’t or can’t take time to explore the causes of pain, gave me the option of pain meds only, were uninformed, and/or made me feel worse by not intervening earlier.
Dr Groner is extremely skilled & knowledgeable about bones, joints, muscles, the spine and reading MRIs and other images. That was missing in the other “pain specialists” I tried.
He also spent a great deal of time going through my documented pain history and not only discovered issues some radiologists missed, he thoroughly examined me, sent referrals for x-rays (then MRIs) which uncovered the misdiagnosis.
I always try to stay positive and hopeful, but I am much more hopeful since under Dr Groner’s care! I highly recommend him to anyone who feels stuck in pain with no answers.
The amount and quality of care you receive at Revitalize can’t be matched. I went to so many doctors over years of pain. No one listened because I was “too young to be experiencing the pain I was describing”. I was frustrated and felt hopeless with the medical field treating me as if I was lying or just after pain meds. Throughout my entire issue I never asked for pain meds—I only asked to find out what was causing this and how to prevent/treat it.
Dr. Groner went above and beyond to make sure that I received the care needed. I finally got the treatment I needed, which was surgery. I am so thankful I was able to find someone who took the time to care and listen.
I’ve never felt more heard or listened to than I did with Dr. Groner. He took the time to sift through my health issues to get to the root causes. He is so thorough and caring. You’re not just a number, he truly cares and wants to help.

Dr. Groner is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable providers I have ever met. I have gone with my mother-in-law to her appointments for the past year and he always takes the time to explain things to her in terms she can understand.
Not only is he very intelligent, but he is also very compassionate and empathetic. Not once has he rushed my mother in law.
As a Nurse Practitioner student, I highly recommend Dr. Groner. It is very difficult to find specialists who are the “full package”, but he definitely is! I have learned a lot from him. In fact, I learned more in spending 45 minutes with him than I have from any of my nurse practitioner instructors and preceptors—and that is saying a lot.
Take it from someone who knows the medical field in and out and has been to almost every clinic in the Tri-Cities as a student. It just doesn’t get any better than Revitalize Spine & Sports Care!
You found what other doctors want to mask over with medication and anti-depressants and label ‘fibromyalgia’. THANK YOU! I am grateful.
I’ve never met a more compassionate man/doctor. Many male doctors don’t even try to explain, let alone let you ask questions and then give an answer that is easy to understand. He is amazing.
I can’t say enough about this fine doctor. He’s very thorough and knowledgeable and cares about his patients.
I’ve had chronic back pain for over 25 years. He ordered several test and found the underlying problem when other doctors couldn’t.
After struggling with what I thought was hip pain, I was referred me to Dr. Groner—and I am so thankful.
Dr. Groner was able to diagnose right away that my pain was actually back related. His thoughts were confirmed with an MRI.
He listened to me. He explained—in terms I could understand—what was wrong.
Now my back is pain free.
Starting from his receptionist Natalie who greeted me with such a warm smile, his assistant Frank who exhibits gentleness and kindness to Dr. Groner who made me feel like I was his only patient— it felt like family. I am so grateful for the exceptional care, expertise and professionalism. I trust him without hesitation.
Dr. Groner takes time out to explain twhat is causing our problems in an easy-to-understand way. We were given options and goals that were reachable. He treated me for severe back pain that had limited my ability to function normally. His knowledge and expertise have given me back the mobility I had lost.
He also treated my husband’s inability to turn his neck due to arthritis and has reduced this to a manageable level. We strongly recommend Dr. Groner to anyone who has not had success with pain control in the past. You won’t be disappointed.
My visit and procedure were the best I’ve experienced in some time. Dr. Groner is not only knowledgeable but very professional in all aspects of the procedure.
I would unequivocally recommend Dr. Groner to anyone experiencing pain, whether from an injury or anything else. Instead of just prescribing meds or giving an injection and sending you on your way he will dig until he finds the cause. He takes time to explain what he’s looking for and educate the patient as he goes. His ethics are what all doctors should aspire to. He’s knowledgeable and caring. I just can’t overstate what a fantastic doctor he is.
Thank you Dr. Groner for explaining what is going on with my lower back! I finally received the care that I needed. You are very thorough and took time with my husband and I. My back feels wonderful. I haven’t felt like this in years. Thank you!
Very professional office from the front desk to the doctor. Courteous. All appointments were timely. Excellent diagnosis. Fantastic results. Would have no problem sending any family members to Dr Groner.
I went in with major back pain, shoulder pain and hand pain. I wasn’t expecting much. Dr. Groner did a head-to-toe exam and found all my issues including a hip issue called a Labial Tear that I did not know I had. He provided treatment early and now the pains are much better. Highly recommend.
Dr. Groner has found the root cause of my condition in two visits, where other providers were unable to figure them out over two years. He explained the findings and his concerns, while ensuring that my concerns were addressed as well. He did not simply blame the pain on a pre-existing condition, but actually evaluated me. He did not take a “wait and see” approach but created a treatment plan for me.
I had been to a pain doctor for my back and, after a procedure had gone bad, I was nervous about finding a new provider.
Dr. Groner is extremely understanding, compassionate and caring. He takes time to listen to your concerns and explains everything clearly and thoroughly, and discusses all of the options, along with pros and cons of each. He knew I was very nervous and did a fantastic job of calming my nerves. The experience was like night and day from my previous experience and the results were great.
After having seen doctors at the two main Tri-Cities health organizations, I was not satisfied. They only gave me the choice between a risky back surgery or drugs.
Dr. Groner sent me for an MRI, then explained the issues and alternatives. He came up with a third option that eliminated the pain with a 20-minute procedure.
This procedure also gave me 100% of my leg strength back (which had been reduced by disc nerve impingement). I highly recommend Dr. Groner over the knife-wielding and drug pushing alternatives.
Dr. Groner diagnosed my problem when four other providers failed. He explained everything at the level of detail I wanted and his treatment gave me dramatic relief. I’m now healthier and stronger. I’ve recommended him to three of my friends.
After a year of unbearable back pain the doctors I was seeing were at a loss, so they just prescribed pain meds. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Dr. Groner, for the diagnosis and the plan of action that gave me my life back!
I have had chronic lower back pain and groin pain for almost three years. I saw three doctors before Dr. Groner. He was upbeat, happy and determined to figure out what was causing my pain.
I have had chronic low back pain for more than 20 years, including constant pain on my right side. I’ve NEVER been to a physician who was so kind and helpful in taking the time to exam me thoroughly, order the tests needed and explain (in words that I could understand) what was going on with my back as Dr. Groner is the best.
After Dr. Groner’s diagnosis and treatment my back is the best it’s been in years. I’ve been to multiple doctors before this but never got full relief. I highly recommend Dr. Groner and his staff, they are awesome! I will return to him in the future if needed.
Ronda Fuhrman
One of my best doctors ever, he actually cares and takes time with me. I feel heard and cared for. Highly recommend!!
Denise Villa
I will never go anywhere else for my back pain.

What Dr. Groner and Frank did for me is just short of a miracle. And not just me. My husband was in his care six months ago. He could not move due to severe back issues. Dr. Groner worked wonders for him also. I can’t say enough about how great I feel! I was in so much pain, but am now feeling better every day!!
II am seeing Dr. Groner for hip pain. I finally have a reason for my inability to walk any distance. He found an issue with my back that didn’t solve the hip problem so he sent me for an MRI. I really like how he works until he gets answers for the pain.
My husband saw Dr. Groner for his back. He is wonderful!
Last summer my husband had shoulder surgery by another doctor. What a mistake that was! He is in worse pain and may not heal all the way.
He is coming back to Dr. Groner to see what can be done because he’s an awesome doctor!
He found where the pain is coming from.
He treats you as a friend and wants the best for you.
He doesn’t just give pain pills.
He finds the root of the the pain and ways to fix it.
Thanks Dr. Groner! I consider you as a friend and brother who cares for people.
Ever felt hopeless? I have severe hip pain resulting in an inablity to walk. I have seen three orthopedic doctors with no improvement or explanation of my pain. I found Dr. Groner. He examined me and ordered diagnostic x-rays & MRIs. I now know what is wrong and have a path forward.
I highly recommend Dr. Groner.
I dealt with back and neck pain for a long time. He took the time, ordered an MRI and discovered I had severe issues with my back. One of them was in my neck, which required surgery.
I spent years being blown off by other doctors. Dr. Groner found the real issue and helped with the pain without pushing pills. He takes the time and listens.
My visit to Dr Groner’s office was an eye-opener. After three back surgeries and eighteen months of waiting for someone to just listen to me I was referred to Dr. Groner by my RA doctor!
He performed a full examination, which my last (well known) doctor did not. It was so refreshing not to be drove in and led out like the cattle we raise on our farm.
Dr. Groner took the guesswork out of the game while getting to the bottom of my issues. (So refreshing!) I would recommend this well bedside-mannered man. His caring professionalism towards his patients is outstanding.
I injured my finger while trying to give my puppy a bath. The first Urgent Care barely checked it and prescribed pain medication without running any tests.
Dr. Groner took the time to listen to what had happened and how I felt. He then examined my finger, ordered x-rays, explained to me that I had something called an avulsion fracture (free-floating shard of bone), and referred me to a surgeon for a splint so that my body could reattach it. He’s the most thorough and kind doctor I’ve ever met. Highly recommend.
I’ve had on and off back pain episodes since age 18 and a longer cycle for pain relief in my 50s. Muscle relaxers and ibuprofen were the usual prescription. Recent back pain during holidays the last straw!
I found Dr. Groner, who is very thorough about explaining—in non-technical terms—results of an MRI, X-rays and basic flex/strength checks. I now have a path to relief with no drugs or surgery. I highly recommend Dr Groner! Great team at this clinic! A life changer! Already sent contact info to co-worker having back issues.
Saw Dr. Groner with severe back pain and sciatic pain down my entire left leg. After x-rays and an MRI, I discovered that years of weight-training had taken a huge toll on my lower back—especially L4.
Dr. Groner came up with an amazing treatment plan. After two rounds of injections, I’m back…literally! I went from being completely immobile due to pain; unable to do anything but sit, to now I’m back to my old self.
With the doctor’s advice I am easing up in the gym, wiser, and reluctantly cognizant of my age (I shouldn’t lift like kid anymore, even though I feel like I can again).
Dr. G is amazing at what he does. I can’t recommend him more highly. He knows his stuff and will get you on the path to being functional again.
Dr. Groner is very knowledgeable and has the patience to help the patient understand their health issues. If he isn’t positive about what ails you he will do what is necessary to figure it out. It is nice to have a doctor that is actually helping me figure out my pain issues. I highly recommend Dr. Groner to everyone.
Dr. Groner began by explaining pain does not necessarily come from one area. He takes into consideration that the body has many parts working together. Results were discovered quickly. What was needed was explained, planned and follow up appointments were scheduled. I couldn’t be happier and I’m on to recovery!
I’ll continue to see Dr. Groner and refer others to him; he helped me when there wasn’t much hope.
WOW! I cannot give Dr. Groner and his staff enough stars. I wish I could give them a million. For 13 YEARS (Yes, 13!) I have been dealing with pain. I have seen many doctors, and most have told me that nothing was wrong – that it was all in my head. Dr. Groner did not dismiss me. Unlike most doctors, he listened to my concerns and complaints, did not rush me, took me seriously and believed me. Within two months of my first visit, he found two tears in my labium and scheduled me for surgery.
For the first time in 13 YEARS my hip is almost 100% pain free. I still have some back pain and he is working to get to the bottom of it, to figure out what is actually wrong. He never made me feel crazy where many doctors either appear not to believe you or ust want to give you drugs with severe side effects because it’s easier than finding the root of the problem! But not DR. Groner.
I highly, highly, highly recommend him if you suffer from pain. He and his staff are exactly what the Tri-Cities needs. Please don’t suffer anymore. Go to Revitalize Spine & Sports Care! You WILL leave there having been seen and heard more than at any of the hospitals in the area!
Extremely knowledgeable, willing to take time to thoroughly explain the data and formulate the proper treatment.
I’m new to Tri-Cities and needed pain management for my back, hip and knee. I went in for an injection and feel so much better now! I can finally sleep and don’t feel overwhelmed with pain.
The medical services provided by Dr. Groner and staff are excellent and exceeded our expectations. He is very kind and explained in simple terms what was causing our pain. In a couple of visits Dr. Groner analyzed our issues (back, shoulder and neck pain) and suggested a solution that eliminated the problems.

Dr. Groner diagnosed my problem when four other providers failed. His treatment gave me dramatic relief. I am so grateful!
Scott Nielson
Dr Groner is thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable and on time. Staff was friendly and competent. I got more done in one week than with most docs in a year.
George Peterson
Great Doctor. Very impressed with his insight. You’re in good hands.
Dr. Groner found and fixed the problem. He gave me back the things that I love doing—golfing, biking and swimming!
Recently, when the pain returned, I knew just where to go to find relief: Dr. Groner at Revitalize Spine & Sports Care!
I saw Dr. Groner. He found bulging discs, degenerated discs, arthritis and more but the scariest thing was two bulging discs very close to my spinal cord.
The discs were replaced seven years ago. Had he not listened to me and taken me seriously, I very well could be paralyzed now. He really listens. He looks for ways to make you better—without popping pills.
